The center unit of this unit was built and put after the two units on the side were all ready in place. The original design was a small breakfast bar to pull a stool up to. Toughest part of the job was color match of the ten year old units on the sides. As you can see here came close on color but just a tick off customer was happy with it so I decided it was ok. Part of the challenge of his install was the two side units were out of plumb with some tlc I was able to bring them back and was able to get new unit to fit nice and tight to the old on each side.
Build pics follow here. The special request on this unit was a need for heavy duty drawers both upper and lower. Bottoms of the big drawers made from half inch birch and sides were out of three quarter popular all of which worked well.


The sides of the top drawers made of three quarter also used a three eighths quarter round on top to dress all that material off to make it look good.

Doors made looking real good.



All framing on this unit was built to over come weight you will note all the extra framing through the next couple of pics.
Drawers are made and ready to go.


Sides of the big drawers the customer second special request is that they did not want metal lower drawer slides. All wood work good with some tlc, patience and finished off with bee's wax.
Drawer sides dado's and other details.

Drawer sides and such.


Good detail of framing on the top side this unit final fit was perfect and the framing will hold about anything you put in it.

Framing and such much care was put in to the entire project.
